Chapter 137: Borrowing Money to Buy a House (I)
Zhong Meng was speechless when she listened to the conversation between her parents in the car. In the past, the uncle's family had no money, and they didn't think about other people's feelings when they spoke. Now that my cousin Zhong Huan is making money, I begin to know that it is a bit snobbish to be low-key.
"Dad, Mom, I have advised you not to be so high-profile at home before, what do you say about wealth and nobility and not returning to your hometown, such as walking at night in brocade clothes. Now that Brother Xiao Huan has made money, you say that people shouldn't be so proud. I'm convinced. Zhong Meng said helplessly.
"That's it! All right! Or our family is cute and long-term. Mom is talking about your second uncle, and she didn't say anything about your little brother. Let's go home. Qiu Rong praised her daughter twice, and the three of them went on the road.
Although Zhong Huan's family and Zhong Aiguo's family were waiting for the bus at the same station, they were not on the same bus. After the two families got into the car separately, Zhang Shulan immediately laughed when she saw that there were no outsiders.
"Xiao Huan, you really showed your face today. Mom didn't even know you met so many big people out there. This time, it depends on how your third uncle is still struggling. Zhang Shulan said with a smile.
"It's done~ I think you're worse than his third uncle now." Zhong Jianguo said a word to his wife with a smile and asked Zhong Huan: "I'm also strange here, you know Boss Zhou because of cooperation, and Zhou Xin is your classmate, but how can that Mr. Wang be so familiar with you?" He said that you won glory for the East China Sea and helped him earn tens of millions, what's going on? ”
"Oh~ that's it. In addition to growing fruits and vegetables, Xiaohe Village also grows flowers. Didn't Peng Lei and I open a flower shop, and the Orchid Association asked us to take the flowers in the store to participate in the Jiangcheng Orchid Fair, and we really won the award. With this award, the orchids of Donghai City became famous, and the influence of the Orchid Association also expanded, which drove the sales of orchids in Donghai City and increased the sales of tens of millions. Zhong Huan didn't dare to say that Wang Haosheng bought a few pots of flowers for three million and made tens of millions of dollars, afraid that his parents would not be able to stand this blow.
"No wonder this king always praises you, it turns out that your flowers have also helped him increase his face."
Zhong Jianguo nodded, not doubting Zhong Huan's words. Because in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he could only buy a few pots of flowers for tens of millions of yuan, and all the orchids in Donghai City were sold for tens of millions to meet Zhong Jianguo's values.
Zhong Huan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had passed the test, and the family returned home talking and laughing. As soon as the three of them sat down to catch their breath, there was a knock at the door.
"Dongliang, why are you? Come on, come on, what are you still carrying things? And I'm so polite. Zhong Jianguo opened the door and saw that it was his old neighbor Chu Dongliang standing outside the door.
"It's not that I'm polite to you, it's called courtesy. Since Xiao Huan started business, you and Shulan have sent good things to my house. I can't come to you empty-handed, no. Chu Dongliang knew that there was no shortage of fruits and vegetables at his old colleague's house, so he bought some sauce meat as a gift.
"Come in and sit down, it's really time for you to come, and we've just arrived home." Zhong Jianguo said and let Chu Dongliang into the house.
"Uncle Chu." Zhong Huan said hello to Chu Dongliang.
"Sister-in-law, Xiao Huan, did your whole family go out in the morning?" Chu Dongliang came here in the morning, and found that no one from the Zhong family went back again, until he heard the movement just now, so he came to visit again.
"We went to dinner with the two brothers of Jianguo in the morning. You sit down first, and I'll pour you a cup of tea. Zhang Shulan greeted.
After Chu Dongliang sat down and chatted for a few sentences, Zhong Jianguo found that he was a little restless, and the content of the chat was also unfocused, as if he couldn't say anything.
"Dongliang, is there something wrong with you coming here? We've been friends for so many years, so let's just talk about it. We will do our best to help. Zhong Jianguo said tentatively.
"Brother, I'm ......" Chu Dongliang glanced at Zhong Huan, and stopped talking a little.
"Xiao Huan, I'll talk to your Uncle Chu about some serious things, you go back to the house first." Zhong Jianguo knew that he did have something to do when he looked at Chu Dongliang's appearance, and it might not be convenient for Zhong Huan to listen to it, so he asked Zhong Huan to go back to the house first.
Although Zhong Huan was curious about what Chu Dongliang was looking for his parents, he was still very obedient at this time, nodded and went back to his room and closed the door. But his ears were on the door, trying to hear what was going on.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I really have something to ask for this time. It is...... I'll talk about the front first, it doesn't matter whether this thing is successful or not, it won't affect our friendship......"
"Hi~ I said Dongliang, why are you so grinding! If you have something to say, just say it. As soon as Zhang Shulan heard Chu Dongliang's words, she swallowed back and almost choked back her internal injuries.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I know that your family is not rich. I also borrowed a circle from someone, and finally I had no choice but to ask you to borrow some money. Don't worry, I'll pay you back as soon as possible. Chu Dongliang came this time to borrow money, so he was embarrassed to say it in front of Zhong Huan.
"It's easy to borrow money. But what are you borrowing money for? How much do you borrow? You have to give the bottom line! Zhong Jianguo heard Chu Dongliang say that he had already borrowed a circle, so he knew that he needed a lot of money, and guessed that he might have encountered some difficulties.
"Brother, then I'll tell the truth. The old building we live in is too old, and there is no independent bathroom, which is actually quite inconvenient. My husband and I have saved some money over the years and have always wanted to buy a new house. Originally, we wanted to ask for no one, and buy it when we had saved enough. However, the house price has been rising year after year, and the speed at which we save money is not as fast as the house price. So we can't wait any longer, so we want to borrow some money to buy the house first, so as not to wait and become more and more unable to afford it. Chu Dongliang said.
"You're planning to change rooms too?"
As soon as Zhang Shulan heard that Chu Dongliang planned to buy a house, she remembered that Zhong Huan had told her about wanting to buy a house before. She hadn't had time to discuss this matter with Zhong Jianguo, but she didn't expect Chu Dongliang to come to borrow money first.
"Sister-in-law, so you also plan to buy a house? Then I won't borrow this money. Chu Dongliang stood up as he spoke.
"Dongliang, sit down for me." Zhong Jianguo pressed Chu Dongliang on the chair, then glared at Zhang Shulan and said, "When are our families going to buy a house?" How did I not know? ”
"Jianguo, don't be in a hurry with me! I didn't mean that. Dongliang, I didn't say I wouldn't borrow it. Even two days ago, Xiao Huan also talked about the inconvenience of our building, saying that he wanted to buy a new house. But as soon as the child said that, I didn't agree, just chatting, not really wanting to buy a house. Zhang Shulan hurriedly explained.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I thought you were going to use the money too. It seems that Xiao Huan thought of going with us. Chu Dongliang said with some embarrassment.
"The kid just thinks about it, you've started to make money, which means that you have already looked at the place. Tell me where you're going to move? When Zhong Jianguo heard that his old neighbor was going to move away, he was really a little reluctant.
"We're going to move south, and the housing prices in the city are too high. Brother knows the Tianhe community in the south, right? I remember that Xiao Huan also worked there during the summer vacation. Chu Dongliang said.
"Know! Know! Do you want to buy a second-hand house in Tianhe Community? Zhong Jianguo asked?
"No, we're going to buy off-plan. It is the second phase of Tianhe, which is now under construction. We have seen that this off-plan is cheaper than both new and second-hand homes. ”
"Off-plan properties are cheap, but are they reliable? I've heard that many off-plan properties are different from the original agreement after they are repaired, and many people have lawsuits because of this kind of thing. Zhang Shulan asked.
"We have also inquired about this, and the developer of Tianhe Phase II and the developer of Tianhe Community are the same, and the reputation is still very good." Chu Dongliang plans to buy a house, of course, he has to inquire clearly.
"I heard Xiao Huan say that the construction site where they work has just started laying the foundation, when will the delivery of the house be waited?" Zhong Jianguo asked.
"The developer's promise is to deliver the house in one year, and the longest will not exceed one and a half years. That's how we planned, borrowing money to buy the house first, and then selling the old house when we moved into the new house, and paying back the borrowed money. If my brother has money in his hand that he doesn't need for the time being, he will lend me two years first, and I will give you interest on the fixed deposit in the bank. I will definitely pay you back within two years. Chu Dongliang said his plan to buy a house.
"Hey~ What kind of interest are we talking about in this relationship! You just say how much money is missing, right? Zhong Jianguo asked.
"We've already made some of them, and we're still short of hundreds of thousands. How much can my brother help, if it's not enough, we'll figure it out. Chu Dongliang knew the Zhong family's economic situation very well, and he didn't expect to borrow too much.
"Hundreds of thousands...... Yes, I see. You go back first, I'll sum up with your sister-in-law, and I'll send you money later." Zhong Jianguo felt that it was better to discuss this kind of important matter with his wife.
"Then I'll thank my brother and sister-in-law first." After Chu Dongliang thanked him, he got up and said goodbye.
Zhong Jianguo sent Chu Dongliang away, and then he returned to discuss with Zhang Shulan: "Shulan, your family is in charge of money." How much do you think we should borrow this money? ”
"The Dongliang family has been friends with us for so many years, and it is rare to open a mouth, of course we try to help. We really couldn't take out the hundreds of thousands of yuan before, but didn't Xiao Huan get back the 100,000 yuan before? Lend it to them first. Zhang Shulan and Yao Qin also have a relationship, and they are not opposed to lending money to Chu Dongliang.
"Is that to discuss with Xiao Huan. Didn't you say that you were going to save the money for him to marry his daughter-in-law? Zhong Jianguo hesitated.
"It's time to discuss. Xiao Huan is now an adult, and he has opened a company outside, and he can already make his own decisions. Let's not treat him like a child anymore. Zhang Shulan has a great improvement in her opinion of her son after this family gathering, and she feels that her son has really grown up.
"Xiao Huan, you come out, Dad will discuss something with you." As soon as Zhong Jianguo heard that his wife agreed with him, he called Zhong Huan out of the house.
"Dad, what's the matter? What about Uncle Chu? Zhong Huan actually heard it all in the house just now, but at this time, he still has to pretend to be one.
"Xiao Huan, that's the case, your Uncle Chu's family has encountered something difficult......" Zhong Jianguo said what Chu Dongliang said to Zhong Huan just now.
